The Rossi 352 shoots .38 special in a five-shot capacity. Simply just remove the gun from its holster, cock back the trigger, and you are ready to roll. It just doesn’t get much more easy than this.

Probably one of the two or three most popular revolvers for concealed carry, the Bodyguard just won’t let you down. The hammerless design won’t get stuck in your pocket and the five shot capacity of .38 special ammo well make you feel safe and sound.

Wait… a .22? Yes. When it comes to a situation where you need a gun, any gun is better than no gun. The concealability of the LCR is second to none, and being able to produce one in a hurry can make a difference in life or death. What you might loose in stopping power, you will gain in follow up shots. The LCR allows for an eight shot capacity of low recoil, highly accurate rounds.

Who doesn’t love a small .357 revolver that can be concealed super easily? Well, Taurus sure figured it out here. This small little pocket shooter only has a two-inch barrel. After that, it fires five rounds of either .38 special or .357. Regardless of your choice, it’s a good.

The .44 mag is a great round for self defense and one of the best revolvers for concealed carry. The problem is that most guns that can fire this round are big and bulky and not designed to be concealed. Thankfully, Taurus has the Raging Bull. This gun can deliver a five or six round capacity of either .44 or .454 depending on your preference. Regardless which you choose, this is a gun you can trust your life with.
